"Travelex remains committed to our vertical market strategy and I'm excited by the positive response we have received within the legal industry," said Christopher Russell, Travelex's executive vice president and global vertical markets director.  "With the worldwide launch of GlobalPay Legal, we will now be able to offer a more industry-specific payment solution to law firms and their clients around the world."

With best-in-class global payment solutions and industry-specific experience, Travelex continues to gain traction within the legal marketplace by expanding ongoing engagements as well as adding new clients to the roster.
